They would both be a great car and both would be immensely more comfy than your current ride I would think LOL!
We have a 2000 Prado TX (diesel model) and it is a great car.
A couple of reasons why DH chose this car for us (that I know of) are, Toyota parts are easily accessible and the Prado has a bigger fuel tank (well, 2 tanks).
We have a 2005 Toyota Prado GXL, turbo diesel. We LOVE it, it takes us EVERYWHERE. We recently went camping (had to take your own food, water, etc) The area is a 4x4 access only and mostly you only see the 6 cylinder 4x4s in there (because it is very boggy and rough) we pulled our camper trailer (packed to the brim, we packed for 5 days camping) through fairly easily. Got bogged a few times, but so did the landcruiser we travelled with. Last weekend we pulled a very large boat about 1.5 hours to the river, no problems at all. Didn't even feel like we were towing We take our very back seats out (seats 8) when loading up, especially for camping and there is plenty of room with the seats removed.
ATM ours is standard, but we will most likely upgrade the shocks and put a lift kit on it so it's better for 4x4ing.
One thing we always notice in our travels is that you very rarely see a Toyota broken down on the side of the road
